Collar draft

The process of constructing a band or shaped pattern piece that finishes the opening of a sleeve at the wrist, sized to the wrist measurement plus ease for closure.

A sleeve draft that extends the sleeve pattern up to the neckline in a diagonal seam, combining part of the shoulder with the sleeve rather than using a separate armhole seam.

A sleeve draft producing a sleeve attached to the bodice along a separate armhole seam encircling the shoulder, the most common sleeve construction in tailored and woven garments.

The process of constructing a sleeve pattern to fit a corresponding armhole, calculating the sleeve cap height and width so that its ease matches the armhole's circumference.

The forward or backward tilt of a sleeve pattern relative to the bodice side seam, affecting whether the sleeve hangs naturally in line with the wearer's arm.
